Te Kano Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022

The Real Review
Te Kano Land Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022
Plush and ripe flavours of mandarin and golden peach are trimmed in charry oak, creating a mouth-filling and generous impression. The hefty palate is held in check by saline-edged, fresh acidity which lifts towards the back and gives it length. Fairly powerful stuff which will mellow and gain complexity over several years..
